👑 0FluffStart

The Final Minimalist Dashboard for Desktop & Mobile.

0FluffStart is a high-performance, privacy-focused start page designed to replace bloated default homepages. It operates as a local-first application, ensuring that your data links, settings, and search history never leaves your device.

📖 Overview

0FluffStart is built on a "Zero-Fluff" philosophy: no trackers, no backend latency, and zero dependencies. It serves a dual purpose:

1. Desktop: A fully integrated browser extension (Manifest V3).
2. Mobile: A lightweight web-based homepage for browsers that lack extension support.

🛠️ Deployment & Installation

Desktop (Browser Extension)

Install 0FluffStart locally to override your "New Tab" page.

1. Download the latest source code from the Releases page.
2. Extract the archive to a local directory.
3. Navigate to your browser's extension management page (chrome://extensions or edge://extensions).
4. Enable Developer Mode in the top-right corner.
5. Select Load Unpacked and point to the extracted folder.

Mobile (Web Homepage)

Since mobile browsers typically do not support local extensions, use the hosted version as your primary entry point.

Android (Chrome)

1. Navigate to Settings > Homepage.
2. Toggle to On.
3. Select Enter custom web address and input: https://raw-json.github.io/0FluffStart/

iOS (Safari)

1. Open the URL in Safari.
2. Tap the Share icon and select Add to Home Screen.
3. The dashboard will now launch in full-screen mode without the browser UI.
